tukituki Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have a small tank with originally 6 killifish - two trio's (1male & 2 females), one trio nigerianus gold and the other australe golds. After quite a while one of the females died, i'm not sure which species she was of the two. Just before Xmas we went on holiday and left a holiday fish food block (my killies eat flake food)in the tank, when we came home sadly my beautiful male australe gold was dead BUT... there was one little baby fish swimming around. I think this youngster looks more like a nigerianus gold but i'm not sure. He/she is starting to colour up on the fins with a little bit of green and is getting bigger. There's loads of javamoss in there for him/her to hide in. Which speices do you think the youngster might be? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 If it has colour showing on the fins it will be a male but you may have to wait to find out which sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Could be a cross breed couldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tukituki Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 a male, i hope so!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I am not certain but I would think that a gardneri would not cross with an australe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaNut Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 My money is on a male nigerianus gold as the females dont have any green and either do the australe golds. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tukituki Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 cheers tim, the fins have coloured up a little more with bits of red as well as the green now, must be the nigerianus gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tukituki Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Tim you were right, it was a male nigerianus gold and a very nice one! he has continued to grow and is a really lovely looking fish. The nicest fish I have bred so far!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
